Jonathan Lippman, the chief judge of the state Court of Appeals, is set to deliver his annual State of the Judiciary speech today.

Lippman, who has been the state’s top judge since 2009, has used previous speeches to push initiatives to require upcoming attorneys to provide a certain amount of pro bono legal work to the underprivileged and changes to the state’s juvenile justice system.

His 2013 speech is slated to begin at noon, where he’s expected to unveil plans to expand cameras in the state’s lower courts and make changes to the bail system.
